SeaTable MCP server for AI agents.
actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to SeaTable and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 62 SeaTable actions (22 reads, 32 writes and 8 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the SeaTable credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces SeaTable's limits and records every call.
100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up
Connect SeaTable in three steps.
- 01
Add actionlake to Claude.
Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

Top actions
The SeaTable API, shaped for agents.
The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 25 of SeaTable's 25 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for SeaTable
Destructive actions wait for a yes.
8 SeaTable actions are destructive. These are all of them:
- Delete a table
seatable.tables.delete - Delete rows
seatable.rows.delete - Delete a column
seatable.columns.delete - Delete a view
seatable.views.delete - Delete a comment
seatable.row_comments.delete - Delete row links
seatable.row_links.delete - Delete select options
seatable.select_options.delete - Delete all base notifications
seatable.notifications.delete_all
A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.
Delete a table?

What SeaTable costs on actionlake.
Every SeaTable action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call SeaTable refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions
The SeaTable MCP server, answered.
Is there a SeaTable MCP server for Claude?
Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 62 SeaTable actions across columns, rows, row comments and tables, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by SeaTable.
What do I need to connect SeaTable?
SeaTable API-Token for ONE base: open the base, then the base menu (three dots) > Advanced > API Token, and add a…. Plus your base uuid and your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "seatable" } lists exactly what to paste.
Can an AI agent delete or change things in SeaTable?
Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 8 SeaTable actions are destructive, including delete a table, delete rows and delete a column. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.
Will an AI agent use up my SeaTable API limit?
actionlake paces every call to the limits in the SeaTable service file: 200 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (22 SeaTable actions can be), which never reaches SeaTable.
What does a SeaTable action cost?
One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (62 SeaTable actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls SeaTable refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.
Which SeaTable API does it cover?
The SeaTable API v6.2 base operations (api-gateway v2, OpenAPI 3.0) at cloud.seatable.io by default, or the base URL set when you connect. It is built from SeaTable's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 62 actions in 25 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).
Does actionlake keep my SeaTable data, and where?
actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your SeaTable credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.
Which AI clients can use it?
Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
